A different approach to pain

We find the source of your pain and treat it directly.

Chronic pain deserves more than a prescription. At SSMC Pain & Wellness we identify where the pain is coming from and treat that source with precise, image-guided procedures as part of a complete, multimodal plan. Our goal is not only less pain. It is getting you back to the life and activities that matter to you.

Expertise you can trust

Care led by John Paul Kim, MD, board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, fellowship-trained in Pain Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, with more than 20 years of experience.

About Dr. Kim

Precision treatment

Procedures are performed under live X-ray (fluoroscopy) and ultrasound guidance, following the international safety standards of ASRA and the International Pain and Spine Intervention Society (IPSIS), with the same C-arm imaging used in US and Singapore tertiary centres.

Our procedures

A complete plan

Procedures are combined with rehabilitation, targeted medication, and education. Diagnosis comes first, expectations are set honestly, and fees are published, so there are no surprise bills.

What to expect

Your first visit

Diagnose first. Treat precisely. Never over-promise.

A first consultation is a careful history, an examination, and a review of any imaging you bring. When a procedure is recommended, you will hear what it can and cannot do, what it costs, and what the alternatives are, before you decide.

Before your visit: what to bring and what to expect.

“My job is to find where the pain is truly coming from, treat that source precisely, and help you rebuild. Less pain is the start. A fuller life is the goal.”
